"Pro-Palestinian Activists Face Arrests and Suspensions at Columbia University"
A Barnard College student, Maryam Iqbal, complained about being locked out of her dorm for an hour after being released from jail following her arrest during anti-Israel protests at Columbia University. She and other students were suspended and evicted from housing by Barnard after the NYPD was called to arrest over 100 protesters. The college administration warned students to leave the encampment or face suspension, and at least 108 protesters were arrested and slapped with trespassing summonses during the NYPD clear-out. Columbia president Minouche Shafik authorized the crackdown, citing violations of rules and policies by the encampment organizers.
